"Know that the life of this world is only play and amusement, pomp and mutual boasting among you, and rivalry in respect of wealth and children, as the likeness of vegetation after rain, thereof the growth is pleasing to the tiller; afterwards it dries up and you see it turning yellow; then it becomes straw. But in the hereafter (there is) a severe torment (for the disbelievers, - evil-doers), and (there is) Forgiveness from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure (for the believers, - good-doers), whereas the life of this world is only a deceiving enjoyment." (Al-Hadid 57:20)
